At Netform, we specialize in flowforming, cold forming, and advanced CNC machining, using these processes we deliver light-weight , high-strength components for industries such as automotive, oil and gas, and agriculture.
Cold forming, also known as cold forging or coining, is a precision press-based forging process where a metal workpiece is shaped at or near room temperature. With the use of a carefully designed metal preform, specialized tooling, and high-tonnage mechanical presses, unique and high-strength components can be produced with exceptional efficiency.
Flowforming is a cold forming process in which a set of roller tools apply pressure to a rotating workpiece pressed over a mandrel tool to form a symmetrical part. The rollers deform the preform, forcing it against the tool (also known as a mandrel), axially lengthening and radially thinning the material.
NETFORM has industry leading expertise in machining of cold formed components. This provides customers with components that are not just stronger, but finished and ready for use.
NETFORM’s press-based tube forming refers to the forming of a tube from a flat blank using multiple press hits. The forming process is then followed by a laser welding operation to generate the finished tubular product.
The NETFORM approach can help you reduce emissions, improve performance and drive profitability.
